EXCELLENT

Prizes and awards like the first place at the Deutscher Chorwettbewerb (German Choir Competition) document the artistic quality of the Knabenchor Hannover. The recording of the “Geistliche Chormusik 1648” (“Sacred choral music 1648”) by Heinrich Schütz (1984) was awarded the “Deutscher Schallplattenpreis” and the “Diapason d’Or”. For the world premiere recording of “Verleih uns Frieden” by Andreas Hammerschmidt, the Knabenchor received the ECHO Klassik in the category “Choral Recording of the Year” in 2006. The choir was awarded a second ECHO Klassik in 2010 for the CD “Glaubenslieder – Neue Kantaten zum Kirchenjahr” (“Songs of faith – new cantatas for the ecclesiastical year”) in the category “Choir and Ensemble Music 20th/21st Century”.
